    Such a beautiful new coffee shop! Everyone was super friendly and happy to be here. I LOVED how gorgeous it was! The coffee was so yummy that i'll have to come back just to try out other drinks as well!

    everything is amazing, but I really like the cinnamon roll and the honey cinnamon latte. The atmosphere is very chill. I recommend this place.

    I am so happy I stumbled upon this place not only is it such a beautiful shop, the workers are so extremely kind! Even before walking in they say Goodmorning and actually talk with you. I loved how they are not only welcoming but also recommend a coffee to make sure you like it and it was delicious. I got the knafeh latte. I can't wait to come back tomorrow to try another. This place is the new OC hot spot for coffee lovers.

    I saw on my Instagram feed that this coffee shop was opening up and knew I had to stop by eventually. Safe to say I was not disappointed at all. Baba's Coffee Corner is such a cute coffee shop with such a meaningful backstory behind it, tying in the OC cafe culture with a Palestinian twist. Sophia, the owner, is a delight to talk to and is behind the bar making the drinks herself. My friend and I both got the Knafeh Latte, which was perfectly sweet and encapsulated the authentic knafeh flavor into a latte. Their merchandise is also adorable and I had to buy a "Bint Baba" (Daddy's Girl) hat with my drink. The space in this cafe is ample and they have outlets on the wall, perfect for studying. Overall, this cafe has quickly risen on my list of Orange County cafes that I enjoy, and I will most definitely be a repeat customer.

    This place is so delicious! Great service (thanks Sophia) I got the cinnamon honey latte and it's a 15/10. Will definitely come here again!

    Super delicious! The service was amazing thank you Sophia!!. I will definitely come here again with my friends.

    fig matcha & vanilla cardamom

    From the moment i walked in i could feel the love, thought, and intention put into this place. Babas is 10/10 no notes and i work in coffee. So grateful i found this place, it'll be my new daily go to. They're in soft opening right now so hours of operation are 10-2 but once fully launched they'll be open from 7:30-4. Thank you to babas for giving me community so close to home, a new spot to study, and 10/10 drinks to fuel my caffeine addiction.

    Knafeh latte, Strawberry Cream Matcha, Fig Matcha

    I'm a huge coffee critic and this is honestly the best coffee i've had from a coffee shop. The flavors are so unique and delicious, you really can't go wrong with anything!

    First time in Orange County Downtown. Pretty cool place. We…read moreactually stumbled with this place walking and thought it was super original a Coffee Bar inside an old bank building. Lots of space to sit, love the ambiance feel like you were in an old train station. Service was great, I had questions about some of the coffees and they took their time explaining it to me. For food they only had pastries but for coffee and matcha lots of interesting options. They have beans from various parts of the World, but mainly Norway!!! We got really excited about this. We ordered a Volcano Latte and a regular latte. The Volcano latte had an explosion of flavors topped with a smoked salted foam out of this world. My new favorite. I will keep on coming to try more things while in town.

    I was in the area and decided to try this spot. I really liked how spacious it is inside; I'm…read moreassuming it used to be a bank back in the day. One thing to keep in mind is that parking isn't free, and depending on the time of day, it can be a little challenging to find parking if you're just stopping by for coffee. I tried two different lattes and unfortunately wasn't a fan of either. Yuli, the barista, truly did her best to make it right and was so sweet, which I wholeheartedly appreciated. Her service alone made me want to give this spot a higher rating. That said, the lattes were a 2/5 for me. They tasted too milky, and the coffee had an aftertaste I personally wasn't fond of.

    I remember trying to go here a while back ago when it blew up on TikTok but ended up not sticking…read morearound because it was so crowded (and also because I got harassed by a neighbor outside who, in his own words, was trying to make people feel not welcome here because he was angry about people coming in and parking in the neighborhood... weird). Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem. I'll be back soon!

    Food/Drinks: matcha…read morelatte - not the richest matcha taste or quality and when i got it with oat milk, the oat milk flavor ended up overpowering the matcha a bit. although, it wasn't bad it was still decent to sip on while working! iced caramel macchiato - on the sweeter end of drinks and if you get oat milk it will overpower the taste a bit but still a decent drink banana cream matcha latte - has the creamy texture from the banana cream and surprisingly the banana didn't have a strong artificial banana taste. to me, that's a little rare and in a good way. the matcha isn't a strong matcha taste but still present avocado toast with egg - it was plated and presented nicely which i was kinda surprised about. it tasted decent. the bread is on the softer/soggier end rather than the crispy and toasted end. the sauce and radish overpowers the taste. i got a runny sunny side egg and it was a nice addition for me. service: this spot has one of the nicest helpful service. i was here for a few hours working and despite shift changes, each new staff who was working were so nice and helpful! ambiance: it's such a bright and spacious spot with a few study rooms and many seating. it's bright and has a cozy wooden feel. i love that there are many outlets and it's not overcrowded or too loud. it was the perfect spot to work at!
